Changed Description:
Selectors and scores don't work in the "CustomName" nbt tag of entities.
Steps to reproduce for selectors:
- /summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:" {\"selector\":\"@p\"}
",CustomNameVisible:true}
- Look at the entity's name, it will say "@p" instead of you own username (see attached screenshot with "@p" in it). In other words it takes @p literally instead of as a selector. It does however accept "selector" as a valid argument, try changing the word "selector" in the command to a random word like "cake" and it will fail, this is why I think it is a bug opposed to a missing feature.
Steps to reproduce for scores:
- /scoreboard objectives add test dummy
- /scoreboard players set @p test 100
- /summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"{\"score\":{\"name\":\"@p\",\"objective\":\"test\"}}",CustomNameVisible:1b}
- Look at the entity's name, and it will be a blank tiny width name tag (see other attached screenshot), not literal text like the last. Again changing the word "score" to a random word will produce an error.

I've got the same problem as Markus R, on 1.8.1.
Same problem, I cannot open / join any LAN worlds, on minecraft 1.8.3 / 1.8.2.
Try changing your place block to left click, then try to split the stacks.
Still in 18w07c on Mac.
